In order to plan in a more effective way for our prelim, and understand the band, we set about researching our band, Jane Doe.
The music style is pop/soul.
The band's image has a very vintage, retro look to it - the clothes they wear all look very 40s/50s, as does their make-up (for example, red lipstick, pale skin etc).
Due to their retro image, they appeal to a niche audience, as opposed to mainstream pop where the band would generally wear more skimpy, or trendy clothes.
However, the vintage look that the band channel has become increasingly popular. Stars such as Christina Aguilera, in her video Candyman also channelled this look, as does the song which sounds quite similar. Another singer who's style is this retro/vintage look is Paloma Faith, another solo artist.
There are three members, as with the band we are filming, making them easy to relate to. The type of music the Puppini Sisters specialize in is also similar to Jane Doe's, 1940s style harmonies and swing music. However, they have described themselves as 'swing-punk', because they are louder and more 'in-your-face' than traditional swing music.

In studying the video, I found that the best shots to use would be mainly close-ups and mid shots of the singers, and during the instrumental parts, close-ups of the band.
